rtcvb32: Correct. BUT! Unless you know the shrine does that with that particular name, you don't consider it a way to raise durability...

LordCephy: But we're talking about an old game from 1997 so at this point, people might know already when they see it that it's THAT shrine. I'm not saying that everyone will, but the game is old enough that it's not unreasonable for even a new player to look up a guide about all the shrines to find out what they do after encountering one or two of them.
Certainly, if you know what you're looking for. Someone new starting to play just for the heck of it won't have a clue anymore than when the game came out. And the first time they look at the cap they won't think 'oh crap +2! That makes SOOO much of a difference! What it only has 1 durability? How do i fix this??' they will likely think 'oh cool, i'll put it on, it has higher stats than my helm' and then it's suddenly gone without warning.
